The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAlthough it is sold under the name 'Essence', it also has a slight moisturizing effect and the soft cream formula makes it easy to apply. Personally, I have greatly benefited from this product. When I first used it, it felt irritating and like it didn't quite agree with my skin, so I took a break and then tried it again after my skin condition had improved a bit, and it was fine. It is particularly effective for minor blemishes, and if you use it consistently for about 3-4 days, you can see the blemishes significantly subside.
ConsWhen first adapting, there is a slightly stinging and itchy feeling. If you don't moisturize well, it can even have the opposite effect. You really need to apply a moisturizer as well.

However, when my skin condition is good, I apply it as a preventative measure against breakouts, and it seems to be effective.
ConsThe price and volume are good, but it's not a product that you slather on heavily. Still, I'll take it with me. ㅜ

It has good absorption and the scent is particularly nice. Even though I have combination skin, it worked well for me.
ConsDon't use Ridleshot, it really stings.. Other than that, there wasn't much I was dissatisfied with.

I purchased it due to concerns about acne, but there was no particular improvement in acne, though it did make my skin somewhat smoother. The fragrance was also pleasing, and the compact packaging was nice.
ConsContinued application has made my face sensitive. My face has become slightly reddened, and I particularly feel a sensation of warmth.
TipI found the product to be somewhat irritating, so I mixed a small amount of it into the lotion I was using. It wasn't irritating and still had the desired effect, so I continued using it this way.

I've been using it, and the long-lasting pimple disappeared after a few days of applying it, so I'm on my second bottle now.
ConsLa Roche-Posay products are good, but I think the prices are too expensive.
TipI thought it was an essence, so I applied it all over my face, but doing so meant the amount was insufficient, and I ended up using it up too quickly. I didn't really feel any particular benefits for my skin either. So I believe it's better to use it as an emergency treatment, applying it only to the problem areas.

I have acne-prone skin, and I only apply this thinly all over my face in the evening. My acne hardly appears anymore. I want to use this forever.
ConsThe quantity is a bit small for the price 😢 In order to purchase it cheaply, one would have to buy it directly from the source...?

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is an essence that I have seen the effects of within a week of use. The essence had a slightly watery cream-like feel, but the application was lightweight, which I liked. I can see the acne scars gradually subsiding. If you are hesitant to use ointments for your abundant acne scars, I would recommend using this.
ConsThere were no particular downsides. The smell was not particularly good, I suppose?
TipThe Laroche-Posay serum in that bluish-green(?) shade pairs well when used together.
